OEM info hack could be used only when phone is running, connected to pc and via phone you have to ALLOW ROOT PERMISSIONS. That is why you get this ERROR on attached pic.

If there is no possibility to use any update.app (worldwide / serbia 952 or older GB one) and then you can try anything - what about to try that oficial tool for downgrading from ics to gb?

And there is one more possibility. My friend told me, that his SGS3 died, cannot boot it. He bought a HW tool called "JIG" which his SGS3 "resurected" - he was able to boot phone and after that he flashed it...

I have similar problem with my G300. I'm on Electra ROM but don't think that matters.

Turning phone on just displays splash screen.

Power on with Vol+ just displays splash screen.

Power on with Vol- just displays splash screen.

Power on with Vol+/Vol- goes to update but update never finishes.

The only way I've been able to get to phone to boot is to remove the battery then connect to USB power. Splash screen displays. I put battery mostly back in but just touch the battery off the spring contacts a few times ( effectively bouncing the battery off the contacts a few times ) The phone will reboot to splash screen usually but sometimes it reboots normally. I may have to try several times but eventually goes past the splash screen and reboots and I gain access to my phone again.

I've tried clearing everything possible once getting access again but this still happens when I try to reboot phone ( not always but most times ). But so far I've been able to re-gain access doing it this way...not ideal but only solution I've been able to come up with.....

Might be worth a try for anyone stuck on splash screen....let me know if it works for anyone.....
